Asus is one of the quickly-rising brands from China. While the company already has an impressive portfolio in the market, it is in the mid-range setup that it really shines, particularly with its popular Zenfone 2.
While the phone was the first one ever with 4 GB worth RAM on a handheld, let alone a mid-range device, an even cheaper version is coming. While the original 4 GB memory version came with 64 GB storage, a new 16 GB storage version is also being released for $229, as opposed to $299.
This new phone will obviously come with the same amount of RAM. The display is the same 5.5” LED with Full HD resolution and Gorilla Glass. Under the hood, you get a slightly toned-down 1.8 Ghz quad-core Intel Atom Z3560 Moorefield processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU and a microSD.
Connectivity includes 4G LTE, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-SIM connectivity. The back boasts the same 13 megapixel camera while the front packs an impressive 5 mp sensor, too.
Keep in mind that the phone already has a cheaper ZE550ML version costing $199 with the same processor, HD display and 2 GB RAM, as well as an even cheaper ZE550CL version with Atom Z2560, 8 mp camera and a smaller 5” display. Here are the specs again for the phone, already available:
